The Pirates have been using a Game of Thrones-style introduction sequence, created by Jason Cauveren and Gary Baker, that shows the team’s players instead of the cities of Westeros. While the real opening credits sequence travels George R.R. Martin’s fictional globe, its the city of Pittsburgh that slowly comes to life here, as the gears turn and the starting lineup is revealed.

The players are formative, and theyve got the kingdom of Pittsburgh behind them.

If Major League Baseball ever wants to take it a step further, the winner of the World Series should sit upon the Wooden Thronemade entirely of bats. Itd be a hell of a lot more comfortable than that iron one.
